In 2006 Thrace Group purchased a 50% equity share of Lumite Incorporated. Lumite began in World War II as part of the war effort as a business unit of Johnson & Johnson, a health care company based in the United States. In 2008 Thrace Group via Lumite purchased 50% of the Alto Georgia plant from Propex Inc. In addition to giving Thrace a presence in the growing US filtration business this acquisition enhanced their distribution of horticultural products and gave them an entry into the erosion control and high strength geotextile markets.
